[QUOTE="GTC@MSAC, post: 224073, member: 5548"] The listing is correct. I checked a signal mount on one of my '75 GL1000 parts bikes on Sunday, before referring you to the above listing. The threaded hole in the '75 headlight stay is LARGER than 12mm, (which would be 14mm) & I even took a 12mm bolt with me to confirm this. Furthermore, the 12mm signal stud is too long for the shallow hole in the GL1000 signal mount, and there is no room for the extra length and a nut; it will bottom out against the triple tree clamp. This signal post is the same on all GL1000 models from 1975 to 1978. If you have a 14mm thread on your headlight stay, the signal studs from '75-up will work. The 12mm posts with nuts are for mounting the rear signals onto the rear grab rail. I get the impression you want something cheaper than the correct 14mm signal post that is currently available, and I can't blame you. I have bought entire parts bikes to get just one or 2 pieces I needed. I figure if I have to spend $500.00 for spare parts, I'd better get my money's worth! The disadvantage is I have to pay $200.00 a month for storage of my parts bikes and all my other spare Honda parts I have amassed over the years, lol! [/QUOTE]
